Can you try not to view any sites like DP Review for a month ? Is that to much. Fine, you can view the forums, that’s acceptable, forgo PetaPixel or any other photography site that falls in that category. Can you live without them for a month ? I dare you. I’m going try myself starting today. Its a challenge for most of us I know, but sometimes, I don’t know if it happens to you, but I get burnt out from all the news(noise) coming in from time to time. Its almost like no one cares about photography itself, they just care about what’s coming next.
Don’t become a slave to the noise.
